INPUT DEVICE, PARTICULARLY COMPUTER MOUSE
First Claim
1. A computer mouse comprising:
- a housing,a movement detector to generate control data which as such correlate with the movement of the housing along an X1 and a Y1 axis, anda hand detector to generate control data which as such correlate with the position and/or movement of a hand in relation to the housing before the computer mouse is touched.

Abstract
The invention refers to an input device for computer system. The invention is based on the task of creating solutions to make it possible to considerably simplify mouse-based input operations in the use of computers. This task is solved in accordance with the invention by a computer mouse with a housing and a movement detector to generate control data which as such correlate with the movement of the housing along the X or Y axis, and a hand detector to generate control data which as such correlate with the position and/or the finger gestures of a hand in relation to the housing before the computer mouse is touched. This makes it advantageously possible to carry out input operations to an even better degree with a computer mouse, in particular cursor controls, in a way that can be intuitively and easily mastered.
